The Colombian was handed a start by the club's under-21 boss Warren Joyce for the clash with Tottenham.

However, he got short run out for the first-team in yesterday's Premier League win over Spurs after replacing Marouane Fellaini in the 83rd minute, meaning he's spared the embarrassment of a drop into the youth ranks.

Adnan Januzaj does start in attack for United against the Toffees.

Third-choice goalkeeper Anders Lindegaard is between the posts, while Paddy McNair is in central defence.
